| UniProt functional annotation for P29736 | |||
| UniProt code: P29736. |
| Organism: | Sinapis alba (White mustard) (Brassica hirta). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Brassiceae; Sinapis. | |
| Function: | Degradation of glucosinolates (glucose residue linked by a thioglucoside bound to an amino acid derivative) to glucose, sulfate and any of the products: thiocyanates, isothiocyanates, nitriles, epithionitriles or oxazolidine-2-thiones. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=A thioglucoside + H(2)O = a sugar + a thiol.; EC=3.2.1.147; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10978344, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15889170, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9195886}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Vacuole. | |
| Tissue specificity: | In vacuoles called myrosin grains of a certain class of cells, myrosin cells, distributed in the cotyledons and the axis of the embryo as well as in different organs of the growing plant. | |
| Miscellaneous: | It seems that the absence of a catalytic proton donor in plant myrosinases is not impairing the hydrolysis of glucosinolates. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 1 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
